2021 Map of Emerick

About this map

The settlement of Emerick and the surrounding agricultural landscape of Madison County are defined by a rhythmic grid of section lines and gravel roads. In this modern survey of the region, the terrain is shaped by the drainage patterns of Deer Cr and Battle Cr, which cut through the undulating Nebraska prairie. Two small, family-named burial grounds, Hutchins Cem and Osborn Cem, remain preserved among the fields, serving as vital landmarks for genealogists tracing early pioneer families in the township. The presence of Klein Reservoir in the eastern half of the map illustrates the ongoing management of water resources in this farming-dependent environment, where the section roads such as 839 RD and 542nd Ave still follow the original Public Land Survey System boundaries established over a century ago.
